Matthew Dowd is no squishy liberal, a “snowflake.” He’s a long-standing Republican<\/em> political operative.<\/p>\n

He also serves as a broadcast and cable news “contributor” and, yes, he is a Donald J. Trump critic.<\/p>\n

He sent out a tweet just a while ago that reiterated something he said this morning on ABC News’s “This Week” program: As i said on @<\/s>ThisWeekABC<\/b><\/a> to give some perspective: \u201cBenghazi was a 4 year investigation, there were zero indictments. The Clinton emails was a 2 year investigation, there were zero indictments. The Mueller investigation has been 14 months, there have been 23 indictments.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

“Benghazi” involved a terrible firefight that occurred at a U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya on the watch of then-Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton; the “Clinton emails” also involved the former secretary’s use of her personal email account while serving in the State Department.<\/p>\n

The Mueller investigation? Well, it’s that probe that is occurring at the moment to explore questions relating to Trump’s presidential campaign and its possible relationship with the Russian government … among other things.<\/p>\n

GOP hardliners want Robert Mueller’s probe to end. Now! They forget about the length of time they insisted on maintaining while GOP members of Congress looked at Hillary Clinton’s conduct.<\/p>\n

All that time, money and effort produced zero indictments. None, man!<\/p>\n

Mueller — who, by the way, also is a Republican — so far has harvested a much healthier crop of criminal complaints.<\/p>\n

And, no, this isn’t a “witch hunt.” It is a serious investigation being conducted by a serious public servant.<\/p>\n\n
